The purpose of this research was to describe the relationship between symptoms of urinary incontinence and their impact on daily activities, and the degree of incontinence-related distress perceived by 25- to 45-year-old women. A second purpose was to identify differences, if any, in impact on daily life and degree of incontinence-related distress perceived among women with stress, urge, and mixed incontinence. Guided by Lazarus and Folkman's (1984) Stress, Appraisal and Coping Theory, a descriptive correlational prospective study (N = 35) was conducted using the Urogenital Distress Inventory and the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire. A significant moderate (r = 0.5701, p = 0.000) correlation was found between urinary incontinence symptoms and their impact on travel, social, physical, and emotional activities. No significant differences were found among women with stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence and the impact of incontinence symptoms on their daily activities or with their perceived degree of incontinence-related distress.
本研究的目的是描述尿失禁症状与其对日常活动的影响之间的关系,以及25至45岁女性所感受到的与失禁相关的苦恼程度。第二个目的是确定压力性、急迫性和混合性尿失禁女性在对日常生活的影响以及所感受到的与失禁相关的苦恼程度方面是否存在差异。以拉扎勒斯和福克曼(1984年)的压力、评估和应对理论为指导,使用泌尿生殖系统苦恼量表和失禁影响问卷进行了一项描述性相关性前瞻性研究(N = 35)。发现尿失禁症状与其对出行、社交、身体和情感活动的影响之间存在显著的中度相关性(r = 0.5701,p = 0.000)。在压力性、急迫性和混合性尿失禁女性中,未发现失禁症状对其日常活动的影响或其感受到的与失禁相关的苦恼程度存在显著差异。
